XOJ Gallery

About the Exhibition

Yazdi’s large-scale acrylic, gouache and oil paintings on unstretched linen draw on the visual language of ancient Persian textiles, telling stories in which past, present and a hopeful future intersect. Figures act as ciphers, and the picture plane ultimately serves as the necessary architecture of home.

About the Artist

Fedra Yadzi is a contemporary artist best known for her evocation of identity, resilience, and hauntology. With a professional background in Film and Theater, she utilizes a strong foundation in storytelling and visual composition to bridge personal experience with universal themes of longing.

A self-taught painter, Fedra has spent over two decades developing a distinct visual language. Her practice evolved from early experiments with abstraction into a search for more authentic expression, resulting in the woven time series. Inspired by ancient textiles and cultural memory, this body of work engages with the framework of hauntology to explore how the past persists within the present.
